I feel like I say this every week but it was just another great and fascinating episode. @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and @amymayforrester.bsky.social - congratulations on a great term of podcasts! (PS - can you get Liz English on this platform. Loads I would like to ask her!)

Really interesting episode with Nick Gibb open.spotify.com/episode/1cPe... 🍎🎓 @adamboxereducation.bsky.social @amymayforrester.bsky.social

New episode! This week, @amymayforrester.bsky.social and I are joined by one of education's premier thinkers - @carlhendrick.substack.com. Carl has so many great insights on cognitive science and how it is best communicated. Must listen, tune in and share! open.spotify.com/episode/0JW7...

WE ARE BACK Join me and @amymayforrester.bsky.social to welcome the new year with an interview with none other than Nick Gibb! We ask him whether the Conservative reforms really worked and if the Tories neglected the wider child social care support network 👇👇 open.spotify.com/episode/1cPe...

Week 2 and the Edu league is taking shape. We won’t talk about where I am. In my own league. Embarrassing myself 🙃

I know I say this every year, but with results day on the horizon, please remember that for some kids grade 1-3 is a huge achievement. It represents years of hard work and determination. It’s not a fail. It is a GCSE qualification that they can and should be celebrated for.

LAST CALL FOR WEEK 1 🔔🔔🔔

Someone’s sent me a DM on here but I can’t read it because the stupid add won’t verify my age. So, if it’s you, sorry!

Get signed up this week before you miss week 1 ✅

When you bump into @nimishlad.bsky.social at Old Trafford.

Another shout for this. Please repost so we get a good league going 🙌🏼

Spot the doggo

If we are all having to verify our ages for apps like YouTube, Spotify and BlueSkye, what’s stopping this government making insta, tiktok, Snapchat etc properly age restricted? They’re doing just as much, if not more, damage to children than porn. Someone needs to act.

open.spotify.com/episode/4UZr... Really good episode with excellent food for thought for any senior leader trying to embed consistency in T&L across a sch alongside maintaining subject rigour and validity. @adamboxereducation.bsky.social @amymayforrester.bsky.social @counsellc.bsky.social 🍎🎓📚

Celebrating the end of term by getting my new piercing jewellery installed 🙌🏼

Big shout out in this for @sketchplanations.bsky.social Cartoon which I reference as in this podcast with @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and @amymayforrester.bsky.social Plan your teaching this way. Deliver SEN adaptations to all. Harmful to None, Beneficial for Many, Essential for Some.

Mam: Amy why’s that man in a mask? Me: you mean Papa? Mam: Papa what? Me: that’s Papa. He’s the leader of the satanic cult. He’s a demonic anti pope. Mam: this is all because I bought you Kerrang when you were 10 isn’t it? Me: worship.

I’m getting out of bed at 10pm on a Friday to go pick my mam up from a gig. This is payback for the teenage years isn’t it

Not only did I book a piercing in stupid weather, I’m also off to a gig in the world’s hottest venue tonight. Pray for me.

I managed to book a new piercing for the hottest vilest day of the year. What a bloodbath that was 😂

Regular pod listeners will know @adamboxereducation.bsky.social told me sash windows were some kind of heat hero. Can confirm he was chatting nonsense. I’m dying over here.

C’mon #EduSky - give @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and @amymayforrester.bsky.social some good questions!

At prom yesterday a kid called me the goat of detentions. I’d like that on my grave stone 😂

Slamdunk was epic. Waited 25 years to see The Used. Nearly died in the Electric Callboy pit. Throw in Landmvrks and Imminence and I am in a bad way today 👵🏻

My festival packing prep for Slamdunk tomorrow is hilariously middle aged

ICYMI at the weekend, this is a great piece from @amymayforrester.bsky.social, highlighting a concerning issue: the rise of exam prediction TikTok.

Most read yesterday (by a distance) was this from @amymayforrester.bsky.social

TikTok videos that claim to predict GCSE exam questions are seriously endangering students' chances of success, warns @amymayforrester.bsky.social

Garn Palace

If Labour need some teacher votes, a sure fire way to guarantee some would be to ban TikTok “examiners” or “subject experts” who genuinely pose a risk to students’ outcomes by chatting absolute hogwash. I am using my filter a lot here. A big lot

I just need to re share this. This has hit my top 5 albums of all time and it’s only 9 hours old 🥹🥹🥹

If you are remotely a fan of music, I urge and compel you to listen to this. This is art. It’s beauty. It’s magical. Get involved. Worship.

Help I’m being bullied by birds

It’s like it’s 2004 all over again 😍

I'm sorry @heymrshallahan.bsky.social , Easter Egg chocolate is the best chocolate. Chocolate tastes better in the shape of an egg - everyone knows this! #AmyIsRight @amymayforrester.bsky.social

NEW EPISODE We are joined once again by @heymrshallahan.bsky.social to look at maternity and shared parental leave, as well as differences between the US and UK ed systems. We also pay tribute to the wonderful Dawn Cox, who we miss deeply 😢 open.spotify.com/episode/2Q5V...

It’s all fun and games living in the lakes until it’s Easter Monday and you need to get from south to north 🙃

Perfect day today. Don’t ruin it Man Utd

Let it never be said that Utd take the easy route to anything

Little stroll out to see the lambs. Peace and quiet before my football team once again ruin my life this evening.

Egg #1 in the epic egg tasting Easter 10/10. No notes. Absolute banger.

Went to my fave poke stop today 🐓

Finally tracked down the blond chocolate egg with base treats. Had to go to a different county to get it mind. Bloody north south divide ruining my egg tasting fun.

BlueSkye I need help. Can anyone remember those skater jeans from the early 00s that had the lil cartoon skater boy on them? He had yellow hair and a red jumper. What brand were they and also bonus if you can locate me a picture pls

Sleep Token getting an actual real life top 10 single 😭😭
